Ingredients
At MIRROR WATER we believe in giving you the power to understand the ingredients that come into contact with your body. Thanks to the expertise of our product developers, we have detailed the ingredients we don’t use, and why we choose to find alternatives.
MINDFUL OF PRESERVATIVES
We do not use methylisothiazolinone (MET), a powerful biocide and preservative often used in personal care products. MET has the potential to heighten issues with skin sensitisation – such as contact dermatitis and eczema – so we avoid MET entirely.
EDTA FREE
Our formulations do not have EDTA. EDTA is commonly used for stabilisation purposes. These compounds do not naturally break down in the environment and have been found in waterways.
A NOTE ON FRAGRANCE
We do not use benzophenone, a fragrance enhancer, due to its negative impact on the coral reef. Instead we rely on natural oils such as vetiver and cedarwood to enhance the scent of our products.
PARABEN FREE
We do not use phthalates, polyethylene, formaldehyde, triclosan, or any other parabens. Whilst more studies are needed to confirm the effect of these chemicals on our health and the environment, we would rather use alternative materials to prioritise our users’ wellbeing.
In our commitment to transparency, we have built out an index containing details on every single ingredient found within our products.
